Description
A great adventure in Alaska looking for a wild DIY hunt. This hunt takes place in August so it allows hunter's to take one velvet bull caribou, up to 3 black bears, and up to 10 wolves. Hunters will be hunting a resident herd of caribou in the Alaska Range. The outfitter will provide all meals and camp tents for this hunt. Charter flights from Anchorage are included in the hunt price along with a flight to get caribou meat out and back to Anchorage. This is an assisted drop camp style hunt, but hunters must be prepared to hunt on their own. Hunters will be responsible for all caping/skinning and butchering of their game. More physically fit individuals will have a higher shot opportunity. Caribou are often found up high on the ridges during warmer days and so hunter should be prepared to hike to get to game. This is an 8 day DIY hunt. Camp sizes are a minimum of 2 hunters and a maximum of 4. Outfitter will help organize antlers and cape drop offs to the expediter. Meat can be taken home packed in 50 lb coolers on the flight home.
